Mr.. Bailey, once famous as the wit of
the Danbury Ne,Os, is now nursing his
insane wife, who demands all his atten-
ton. He must dress her and arrange
her hair, and attend to all her wants.
She is like a child, and he gives her all
of his affection, time and attention.
His devotion is described as something
eroic.-Erchange. After all, q big
heart is grander and nobler thing
than big brain. The world admires
brilliant thought, but it reveres kind
deed. 1t claps its hands for brief
moment at a flash of wit, but it ap-
plauds forever an unselfish act. We
may admire person as genius, and
yet despise him as man. But he who
is admired as man can never be
despised. Mr.. Bailey's devotion to his
helpless wife is grander thing in the
eyes of God and of all good men than
the most brilliant display ofhumor and
wit. And who is not moved to say:
"Noble man, God bless you"

~ The Democratic State Platform
characterizes the Foraker administration as
unbusiness- like and extravagant. As to the
first proposition, the truth is established by
the fact that appropriations exceeded the
possibility of receipts, and the result was
that the State debt has been increased half a
million dollars during Mr.. Foraker's admin
istration. And as to the other, we need only
to quote the declarationsof Hon. Seth Brown,
Republican member from Warren county,
and chairman of the Finance Committee of
the first session of the Legislature under the
Foraker administration. Mr.. Brown from
his place on the floor of the House said:
81 have word to say, and I say it in the
way of warning to the Republican members
on this floor. At the present rate it will be
said, and said truthfully of this, Legislature,
that it was not only more extravagant than
its Democratic predecessor, but the most
recklessly extravagant Legislative body that
ever assembled in Ohio"

THE RAILROAD WHICH WAS NEW
ER BUILT.
Interesting History Concerning the
Road.

The suit brought by Chas. Foster and others
against the Pennsylvania Company, to
annul the foreclosure sale of the Mansfield,
Coldwater d Lake Michigan R. R. to the de-
fendent, is commanding considerable atten-
ton and the result of the suit ia looked for
with much interest.
The following history of the road may be
of some interest to our readers:
The company was organized to carry out a
big enterprise, which was no more or less
than. the building of a railroad from Mans
through Wood county into Michigan, through
Coldwater, Marshall and Allegan to the lake.
The company lived long enough to grade a
roadway through the length of the line and
laid the rails between Mansfield and Jerry
City in Wood county.
After having gone thus far the company
was stumped and in this predicament the
Pennsylvania came in, according to the
allegation in the brief, and obtained control
of the company's property, agreeing to com
plete the road as it was originally designed
and operate it. The terms of this arrange
ment have already been noted in this paper,
as have also the allegations that the Penn
sylvania company failed to perform its con-
tract, NV
The portion of the Mansfield, Coldwater &
Lake Michigan west of Tifin through Wood
county was abandoned, and the rails between
Tifin and Jerry City were taken up.
The Michigan & Ohio railroad was built
over portion of the graded roadbed lying in
Michigan, and the remainder is only grass
grown right-of-way.
The stockholders of the M. G. d L. M. had,
| it is said, made up their minds that they were
completely sold out and had no claim on
their road, until some old debts of the COM
pany we're being pressed against them, when
| they discovered that their company was not
entirely insolvent, and thereupon set up their
present complaint, alleging fraud and VIOLA
| tion of contract. .....-
One who is we'll posted on the case says
that had the Pennsylvania expended S5O,OOO
or so and relieved the old stockholders of the
indebtedness, that company's title to the
road would never have been disputed. Should
this case be decided in favor of the plaintiff
and no compromise is affected, the Pennsyl-
vania will lose that portion of the North
western Ohio road lying between Mansfield
and Tiffin. The road between Tithn and
Woodville was built by an independent COM
pany under the title of the Toledo, Tittin d
Eastern, and that portion lying between
Woodviile and Toledo was built by the city
of Toledo, though it was afterward taken by
the Pennsylvania and formed the Toledo
branch of that system.
The control of the line between Mansfield
and Tiffin will be combatted with energy
The majority of stock is represented by the
! plaintiffs in the case, and meeting OF the
stockholders of the NJ. G. & l.. NJ. will be held
soon to organize by choosing directors and
| electing officers.

~ Governor Foraker's career bids fair to
be striking exemplifcation of the old
adage that if you let fool or scoundrel
alone he is bound to hang himself sooner or
later. He first achieved national notoriety
by posing as a patriot, and he has never
bobbed up since then without nauseating his
hearers with dose of the bloody shirt or the
rebel flags. 1t was, of course, to be expected
that if there was disgraceful row during the
stay of the Grand Army men at Wheeling
Gov, Foraker would be in the midst of it,
But his conduct in this instance seems to
have cast all his past achievements into the
shade. Like all demagogues, he finds now
that each speech must be more bitter and
vindictive than the preceding one to make
any impression. 1t will be next in order for
him to endeavor to raise an army of Ohioans
to quell the rebellious South. What COM
ment upon the Republicans it is that they
honor such leaders as Blaine. Platt. Quay
Malone aud Foraker.-Bo,Uliag Green Netos
